According to Shams Charania of The Vertical, the Philadelphia 76ers will sign point guard Chasson Randle to a 10-day contract. The former Stanford University guard had been playing in the D-League for the Westchester Knicks. Randle, 23, earns his first NBA call-up after going undrafted in the 2015 NBA Draft. Randle spent one season overseas with CEZ Nymburk in the Czech Republic, before having a tremendous camp with the New York Knicks. Randle was in line for a roster spot in New York, before breaking an orbital bone and ultimately being sent to the D-League, where the Knicks' affiliate acquired his rights. Randle averaged 20.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game over 19 appearances with Westchester. Randle also excels from beyond
the arc, with a 40.2 three-point field goal percentage. Now he will get a shot to earn a full-time NBA role with the 76ers, should the 10-day contract be successful. Randle takes the roster spot of the recently waived Hollis Thompson, and will likely see immediate time thanks to the long-term injuries of Jerryd Bayless and Ben Simmons. Sergio Rodriguez and T.J. McConnell have seen the bulk of the time at the point guard position, but the Sixers are seeking a scoring punch that both of these two don't possess. The Sixers reportedly had interest in point guards Jordan Farmar, Nate Robinson and Yogi Ferrell; all of whom could be in line for deals of their own in the coming days, but decided to go with Randle.

Even monkeys reject unequal pay! In a Francis De Waal and Sarah Bronson study; they showed two monkeys who would each complete the same task, but would receive a different payment/reward. In this case, they both started out by getting one slice of cucumber, they’d repeat the task over and over. One of the monkeys started to receive a grape while the other was still getting cucumber. The monkey receiving cucumber started realizing this and would reject and throw the cucumber, because it too, of course, wanted to be getting grapes also. (“Furious Monkeys Rejecting Unequal Pay Explained: Dnews”) In today’s world many are discriminated against almost daily.

If we let our personal challenges destroy us, then we are nothing and have nothing to offer the world. It is important that we take control of our situation and use the personal hardship as an opportunity to better ourselves. It takes a keen eye and careful self-evaluation to remove any inclusions that will mar the beautiful diamond we possess in all of us. Each one of us is shaped into a distinctive cut of stone, giving way to different grades of clarity and color, making us rare, valuable, and uniquely our own. Frederick Douglass and Barbara Ehrenreich are two individuals who lived in different time periods; however, both individuals used their personal struggles to inspire change in the hearts of others. Just as I use my struggle as a tool to chip away the imperfections in my life, Frederick and Barbara used their experiences to chip away the fallacies of our nation. Personal challenges encourage me to grow as an individual and make better choices for a brighter future.
